Regional England United in 2010

It's a delicate topic that we'd like to say more on but people are generally unwilling to speak on the record and as a volunteer based site we're not sticking our necks out either.

But yes, my understanding is that Aussie Rules UK is effectively no more and the clubs/leagues have returned to working under one umbrella. At senior level it doesn't appear as though that is a setback, as it now means more clubs close geographically are happy to work together, as per the article above.

The area of juniors could be a concern. There was allegedly significant funding from Sport England for juniors stretching back to around 2005 and in 2008 we saw Brian Clarke bring a junior team to Australia partly overlapping the International Cup and there was also reportedly a small junior league working with the London clubs and schools like Carshalton.

I didn't hear anything much about juniors in 2009 but we think there were some schools involved through PE teachers giving lessons or possibly running teams. If those ran in 2009 and are continuing in 2010 we'd love to hear from people involved. I don't think that discussing any junior programs currently underway should get anyone in trouble, so if someone from AFL Britain or PE teachers or any English clubs want to post a comment or send us an email we'd love to hear from you.
